I’ve been on a 90s anime rewatch binge the last few months and wondered something. Can anyone explain why it’s kind of blurry? Is it an intentional stylistic choice, resolution, or some sort of limitation? Here’s what I mean:
The top one is most obvious, but the bottom one has it too but more subtly. I kind of like it? It looks really cool to me, but I want to know from more animation savvy folk why it happens. Thanks in advance!
Cell animation on film! There’s a variety of reasons why the image could be softer/grainier, from film stock used (TV series most commonly used 16mm while movies/higher end productions used the 35mm cinema standard) to how the scene in question was lit. Anime (and animation in general these days) do not look like this because they’re an all digital workflow and never make it to film.

Today i had a dream where you posted a drawing where Vinny was making a goofy face reacting to something, similar to your current icon, someone reblogging said "He should stick to making relatable jokes instead of grimaces", and when i woke up, i was like "Why did they say that, he's not known for making that content", and anyway, i just wanted to share that with you.
Vinny is the werewolf of everyone’s dreams, it seems!
(Thanks for sharing though, that is pretty amusing!)
I was still a thin boy when I first got into furries, but when I started to gain a lot of weight due to my mental health issues it definitely made me feel a lot better about it seeing all the larger furry characters and positivity around them, and it’s made me feel like I can still be attractive
Same here with the whole feeling attractive cuz of the representation!
I’m the same way - the biggest reason I got into furry stuff was because I could see myself in those situations. I may be attracted to everyone equally, but the main reason I have lots of big dudes on my NSFW blog is because I can put myself in those places easily. Representation is important!
Yeah, right on! Representation helps people
emotionally a whole lot!!!!
This was a very nice read. As a fellow big dude, finding representation is nigh impossible outside of furry of smaller scenes. After the last fur con I went to was a bust socially, I may just step back and go back to digging the art again. Cheers!
This! I felt similarly though moreso with sexuality and gender instead. I’ve little exposure to either until coming across the furry fandom and it helped so much to explore the mighty friendly LGBT space of it all that helped me find out more about myself.
Oh yeah same here! I didn’t have an inkling of what I liked until furry stuff!
We live in a golden age of art programs (and tablet hardware!).
I remember in 2005, where every art program was either a pirated copy of Photoshop 7 (even though CS2 was out at this point) or Open Canvas 1.1. If you were a cool kid, you used Oekaki boards or Art Rage.
Nowadays, we have inexpensive art programs like Clip Studio Paint and Paint Tool SAI. We have free programs like Krita and Medibang Paint Pro which are also really high quality. Then as far as cheap Photoshop and Illustrator alternatives go, there’s Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, respectively. I know there’s many more programs, but it’s just so exciting how many options there are for digital artists these days!
